Chapter 1: A Dull Life (Part I) Modified
In 2014 of the Middle Yuan Calendar, in the imperial capital of the Chinese Dynasty - Shangjing City, Northern Shaanxi Province, the young Emperor Xuande retreated from the Xuanzheng Hall to the inner hall after retiring from the dynasty, and the two attendants around him were waiting cautiously!
Emperor Xuande wanted to lose his temper and smash things, but reason told him that he couldn't do this, his net worth and life could be saved to this day, and it was also the blessing of his ancestors, recalling the political reform 65 years ago, the highest voice in the country was to abolish the imperial system and follow the example of the West to implement a constitutional political state, his father Emperor Hongxian was almost pulled down from the emperor's throne by the domestic opposition, and the last was the Russian Empire in the Far East on behalf of the whole country to the United Nations to express strong condemnation of the political reform in Huaxia, and at any military cost to force the domestic opposition to follow the example of Fusang to implement a constitutional monarchy, the throne of the father emperor was kept!
I still remember my childhood memories vividly, and I still remember a reminder to myself on the eve of my father's death: I am incompetent, and the foundation of my ancestors was almost destroyed in my hands, but fortunately with the support of the international situation, I have survived to this day, and the emperor must remember to keep a low profile in the future, and the will of the people cannot be violated! Whether the revitalization of the ancestors' rivers and mountains depends on you, remember! We must find the Nine Dragons Jade, the Nine Dragons Jade contains the secret of my royal prosperity! If the emperor can find the Nine Dragons Jade, he will be able to break through today's situation and revitalize my Chaojiang and Shan Society!
Emperor Xuande has tears in his eyes, he has been on the throne for ten years, the situation at home and abroad is complicated, the international situation is either Fusang and Philippine and our country's border disturbances, or the United States Zhanting Empire has implemented an economic blockade against our country, the strategic deployment of the first island chain, or the unscrupulous nuclear weapons of Silla to challenge our national prestige, or the division of the treasure island region is more prominent, and the recovery of the treasure island does not know when it will be realized!
Of course, these are not to worry about themselves, after all, the current political power is in the hands of the seven major families in the country, and they are not even as good as puppets, they have no dignity, and they are still under the control of the seven great families day and night! The seven major families in China: the Xuanyuan family, the Nangong family, the Linghu family, the Shangguan family, the Ximen family, the Duanmu family, and the Murong family, have united to form a powerful political collective, and every ten years, the major families will recommend the representative figures of the families to enter the imperial cabinet and council to serve as the supreme administrator!
The cabinet has a total of ten ministers of the first auxiliary, the name of the first auxiliary, in essence is the highest authority in China, even the emperor is not allowed to intervene in the affairs of the cabinet council, if there is a need for the emperor to sign and approve the chapter of the cabinet council will be transmitted to the emperor, where the cabinet council unanimously approved the chapter of the emperor must be unconditionally signed, but every piece sent to the emperor is not a visit to China by the head of state, the emperor to extend the most noble greetings, is in the name of the seven great families to commend the provinces of the feudal officials of the outstanding achievements of the standard meritorious report, and then every ten years of the National Day ceremony the emperor will deliver an impassioned speech on behalf of the world, the content of which is deliberated and approved by the cabinet council!
There is also a court meeting that must be attended every day, there is less than one representative of the seven families, it is all a bunch of clichés, neither involving state affairs, nor government affairs, it is better like an education class, teaching the emperor how to be the emperor, ten years, Emperor Xuande has passed ten years like this, ten years as a day, once upon a time under the mediation of the father, the seven families are still doing their own thing, the same situation, now the seven families are hugging together, the cabinet meeting has become a hall of words, coupled with the international anti-imperialist voice is getting higher and higher, Emperor Xuande is like sitting on the stove, both want to work hard, but can not do anything!
The international opposition made Emperor Xuande feel that his life was threatened, and he didn't know where to start with how to continue and preserve the ancestral foundation, just like the last emperor, today does not know what will happen tomorrow, Emperor Xuande took a deep breath and said to the attendants around him: Is there any result of the search for Jiulong Jade? The attendant on the left said: Your Majesty! A few days ago, the southwest area of the great southwest shook the mountains, either an earthquake or a plague, or a drought, a few days ago I heard that the southwest direction of the red light everywhere, the days are long and the nights are short, lasting for a month, according to ancient records, it seems that the Nine Dragons Jade is about to break out of the ground, and win the world! But forgive the incompetence of the slaves, and a cadre of old ministers and generals left by the first emperor have been sent out to search for the Nine Dragons Jade, and so far nothing has been found! The slaves are guilty! Emperor Xuande sighed for a while and said: Hey! Is it really the heaven that is going to die in the society of our dynasty! The attendants on the left and right all bowed their heads in grief, lamenting the strength of the empire in the past and the sadness of the situation today!
Kunlun Mountain--Yuxiao Palace Xuanyuan Family Headquarters, today is the 100th birthday of Xuanyuan Family Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Family is the Xuanyuan Family Dinghai Shen Needle, not to say that Xuanyuan Family has today's momentum and strength depends on Xuanyuan Family, after all, Xuanyuan Family has been inherited for thousands of years, during which there have been countless heroes and heroes, just like the bright night sky, Xuanyuan Ancestor is the brightest star, embellished with the glory of Xuanyuan Family!
As a secluded primeval family, in fact, the Xuanyuan family is no longer a little hidden in the wilderness, the door is like a city, full of friends, all the seven families are here, during which dignitaries, officialdom stars, military backbones, and businessmen celebrate the 100th birthday of Xuanyuan ancestor!
During the banquet - I saw Xuanyuan ancestor slowly walking into the banquet living room, the banquet hall instantly immersed, everyone observed the Xuanyuan family's Dinghai Shen Needle, now over 100 years old, although the gray hair, but the momentum has not diminished, struggling, walked to the stage and raised a glass of wine and said to everyone: Everyone! Yu today's birthday thank you for coming to the cold house, Lao Suo is unwell, on behalf of the Xuanyuan family, I would like to toast you a cup, I wish you all the best, great ambitions!
After drinking the wine in the cup, everyone stood up together and said in unison: I wish Xuanyuan Ancestor a healthy body, a hundred longevity, and drink the wine in the cup after speaking, everyone sighed at the humility of Xuanyuan Ancestor, hehe! Humble House, if the headquarters of the Xuanyuan family is also considered a cold house, how can the people under the stage be embarrassed, Xuanyuan family as the head of the seven families, its headquarters is no less than the imperial capital Shangjing Imperial City, but also because of the Xuanyuan ancestor's majestic talent, the Xuanyuan family is also prosperous, good talents! The contemporary head of the family, Xuanyuan Dezhao, is the first auxiliary minister of the Cabinet Parliament!
If there is no Xuanyuan ancestor 65 years ago, the emperor is protected, the new policy is established, where is the Xuanyuan family's heyday today, I am afraid it will be like a bunch of seas, buried in the red dust of history, who can remember the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's thousand years of exploits? After Xuanyuan ancestor drank all the wine in the cup, he left the banquet hall with the support of his children and grandchildren, and the Xuanyuan ancestor stood on the lotus platform in the secret room, and the children and grandchildren stood below!
Xuanyuan Ancestor said slowly: How is the current situation in Beijing? The eldest son, Xuanyuan Dezhao, said after bowing cautiously: Everything is as usual, Emperor Xuande seems to be ready to move, but the seven great families, the north and the south are all on our side, and he can't do the wind and rain like Emperor Hongxian, but the foreign forces have recently become more and more vocal against anti-imperialism, but they are still under control, please rest assured!
Xuanyuan Old Ancestor squinted at Xuanyuan Dezhao and said: "Peace of mind, what kind of heart, Xuande Huangkou Xiao'er's plot you haven't seen it, haven't I seen it? A few years ago, he sent a large number of personal soldiers to Xichuan Province, Qiangui Province, and Tiannan Province to look for the whereabouts of Jiulong Jade, don't you know, if it weren't for the ancestral teachings, I would have tried my best to protect the throne of Emperor Hongxian back then, causing today's situation? The country cannot be left without an owner for a day! I can't see that Xuande Xiao'er is not ambitious, and he still wants to compete with the sun and the moon! Can he get his turn? Can he have today's emperor and count his ancestors as accumulating virtue!
By the way, Qinglongwei has been sent to the Xuanyuan family for more than three years, how is the progress? Qinglongwei is one of the secret weapons of the Xuanyuan family, a 30,000 Xuanyuan family pro-soldier composed of ancient martial arts powerhouses, every three years the Xuanyuan family elders will send elites to the provinces of China to search for young people with excellent innate qualifications to enter the Xuanyuan family's ancient martial arts hall day and night training, the best of the best, each person takes the soul devouring pill and swears allegiance to the Xuanyuan family, which is one of the secret weapons of the Xuanyuan family, and it is easy not to send the Qinglongwei!
As the name suggests, the Soul Devouring Pill is a kind of elixir that devours the soul, and the antidote must be taken every month, otherwise the whole body will festered to death after three days, and it can be said that there is no corpse in death, which is extremely terrifying! Xuanyuan Dezhao said cautiously: I have been searching for more than three years, and I should have searched the last secret place recorded in ancient times recently, and there will be news in the near future! Xuanyuan Ancestor stared at Xuanyuan Dezhao with golden light and said: We must pay close attention to the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Jade, the key to whether my Xuanyuan family can continue the glorious foundation of the millennium lies in the Nine Dragons Jade, understand? In addition, what are the movements of the other six great families? Xuanyuan Dezhao wiped the beads of sweat on his head and said: Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang! Xuanyuan Old Ancestor shouted angrily and said: Hmph! The grasshopper shakes the tree! Do you also want to compete with the sun and the moon?
